Welcome to Habilis Europe: a new concept for telerehabilitation

The scope of Habilis is to launch and deploy an innovative model of rehabilitation. Habilis Europe’s concept is based on a flexible, general purpose and low cost platform suitable for implementing an expandable set of telerehabilitation services across the whole EU, with significant potential to enhance the deployment of e-health services and the optimization of healthcare resources.

Habilis Europe is a registered trademark established in the framework of the European project CLEAR supported by the ICT-PSP Programme.

The logo recalls the mission to maintain patients’ abilities for the longest possible time targeting a healthy life style. The E of Europe has been obtained from a mixt “e and @” in the designer attempt to reference eHealth services for tele-rehabilitation.

What is a Tele-Rehab service?

It is a service which allows patients to extend the rehabilitation treatment at home (or at the point of their need) under the supervision of a rehab team guaranteeing efficacy, security, privacy and ethical methods.

The Habilis Platform will deliver the therapy to people who cannot travel to a clinic because of their disability or to avoid issues occurring for travelling reasons. Telerehabilitation also allows experts in rehabilitation to engage in a clinical consultation at a distance.

With Habilis patients with physical, neurological or cognitive impairments can rehabilitate at home or near their home, in tele-rehab points, spread on the territory and linked to the Clinical Centres.

Why the project “CLEAR”?

To demonstrate the technical, clinical, organizational and legal feasibility of extending part of the rehabilitation treatment at the point of patients need using a “low cost software platform” tailored to elderly people affected by cognitive, musculoskeletal and pneumonic diseases;

To provide sustainable cost models in order to allow the treatment of people with disabilities more efficiently, accounting the localization at each clinical site;

To implement home therapies, designed by clinicians, based on a set of rehabilitation exercises.
